1. Anxiety
Generalized anxiety disorder is a mental
disorder characterized by general, persistent anxiety not
associated with specific objects or situations. Often
accompanied by complaints of constant nervousness,
trembling, muscle tension, sweating, palpitations,
dizziness and discomfort in the solar plexus area . Often
there may be a fear of illness or accident that extends to
oneself and/or loved ones, as well as various other worries
and apprehensions. It is more common in women and in
many cases is associated with chronic environmental
stress. There are tendencies towards an undulating
course of the disorder and chronicity.

cars on the road, and financial instability, and problems of
personal life, wars, natural disasters, and so on... But not

accumulate, unexpressed emotions lead to disruption of
the body’s adaptation mechanisms – pathological anxiety
and the diseases that manifest it develop.
